Dec 06, 2011 Utilizing flow-hole forming technology in fabrication process, Flowform® screws heat sheet metal via axial force and driver speed. After screw penetrates material, trilobal shape causes metric thread to be formed in host material that can accept standard metric screw if repairs are needed. Formed hole adapts to shape of screw after controlled-torque assembly, and process eliminates need for additional securing components as well as component preparation steps such as drilling or punching.
